The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of a divergent plate margin, where two plates are moving in opposite directions, and the gap is infilled with solidifying magma from the mantle.
a destructive plate boundary as it melted all the ice from the snowball earth
The Mid-Atlantic ridge.
A divergent plate boundary.
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
a rift valleyis a dip in the ocean floor a mid ocean ridge is a mountain chain formed on the ocean floor . Rift valley - divergent boundary MidOcean Ridge Convergent Boundary
friction - convection currents in the mantle drag the plates away from the hot rising zone below the ridgegravity - gravity pulls down on the cold dense plate being subducted under the continent, dragging the plate away from the ridge
A spreading ridge, where two plates diverge.

MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.
The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.

At any divergent plate margin: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge The boundary between the African Plate and Arabian Plate (the Red Sea) Great Rift Valley West Antarctic Rift East Pacific Rise Pacific-Antarctic Ridge Galapagos Rise Gakkel Ridge
The Mid-Atlantic ridge.
A spreading ridge, where two plates diverge.
it is known as sea floor spreading. this is when the oceanic plates diverge or move apart which causes the magma from the mantle to rise forming new sea floor.
